How to Make Swiss Cheese Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  3. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute to create a roux.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of half-and-half cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Add 1 cup (8 ounces) of shredded Swiss cheese, 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and a few drops of hot pepper sauce (or to taste).
  6. Stir with a wooden spoon until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
